A Family Favorite Main Dish


Meat Loaf

Heat oven to 350°

3 slices of soft bread broken in pieces
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef

Combine the first 6 ingredients together in a bowl. Mix in the ground beef. Form the mixture into a loaf and place in a 9 inch loaf pan. Bake 1 hour. This makes 6 to 8 servings.

To make the loaf fancier, try one of the following ideas:

Toppings:Spread 3 tablespoons catsup or chili sauce over the top of the loaf before baking.

Frosted:When loaf is baked, frost the top with mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika and broil until golden.
